High Labs Trippy 2

In hands-on testing, the Trippy 2 scores 8.5 to 9 out of 10 points. Testers praise the dense, surprisingly cool vapour from the first draw, the absence of throat irritation and the simple one-button operation. Points are deducted for the small chamber, which holds a maximum of 0.25 g.

First allow the device to cool completely (5 to 10 mins). Then soak the glass tube, mouthpiece and bottom section in isopropyl alcohol (90 %+) — 10 to 15 minutes is sufficient, and the silicone should not soak for more than 30 minutes. First scrape out dry crumbs with a blunt tool (NOT a pointed one, as it could puncture the screen). Wipe the chamber with a dry cotton bud, then follow with a cotton bud dipped in isopropyl alcohol — if the cotton bud squeaks, the surface is clean. For safety, clean the vapour channel once more with a second cotton bud dipped in isopropyl alcohol. Allow all parts to dry completely before reassembly, then run one empty heating cycle at the highest level.

There are three safety points: (1) Do not allow isopropyl alcohol to enter the electronics — use it sparingly around the chamber-to-body junction. (2) Isopropyl alcohol strips oils from the skin — apply hand cream after cleaning. (3) If the vapour tastes of isopropyl alcohol on the first draw after cleaning, DO NOT inhale. Isopropyl-alcohol vapours are generally not intended for the lungs. Allow the device to dry for longer and run another empty heating cycle at the highest level until the smell has completely disappeared.

The battery has grown from 1800 to 2600 mAh (+30 % running time, approximately 12 rather than 9 sessions). USB-C charging is 75 % faster. A vibration alert indicates when the target temperature has been reached. The five temperatures (160, 175, 190, 205, 220 °C) are distributed more evenly — even the lowest level delivers more flavour than its predecessor. The chamber, glass vapour path and body remain identical.

The Trippy 2 uses pure conduction: more draw resistance, simple operation and dense vapour from draw 1. The Veazy (a convection hybrid) provides an easier draw and slightly greater convection clarity, but usually costs more. Flavour and cloud production are on an equal footing. For an entry-level device in the 80-to-90-EUR price range with a pocket-sized format, the Trippy 2 is the better choice.

Both are possible. Drawing actively with your lips on the mouthpiece produces denser clouds because more airflow passes through the hot chamber. Alternatively, you can allow the vapour to flow passively through the device 2 to 3 times without actively inhaling — ideal for flavour sessions at levels 1 to 2 (160–175 °C). During a second consecutive session, the body becomes noticeably warmer — this is normal.

The list price is around 85 EUR. Polish retailers currently offer it for around 87 EUR (converted from 379 PLN). Our price comparison at the top of the page shows up-to-date prices including delivery — the spiders crawl all listings every 24 hours.

Yes. It uses a single button, five preset temperatures, a vibration alert when ready and four LED battery dots as the indicator — no app, no learning curve associated with reading a display and no need to calibrate your drawing technique. Recommended starting point: 175 to 190 °C, which produces flavour-focused vapour without throat irritation.

Yes. After around 7 minutes without any user action (no button press or inhalation), the device switches off automatically. This preserves the 2600-mAh battery and prevents accidental heating if you put the Trippy 2 into a bag or pocket without switching it off. To restart it, press and hold the button.

No. The 2600-mAh lithium-ion battery is permanently installed inside the stainless-steel housing and cannot be removed without tools. If it becomes worn or faulty, the device must be returned under the manufacturer's warranty (2 years, or 3 years with registration). The charging-cycle lifespan is typical for this battery class — several years under normal use.

Before the very first session, wipe out the chamber once using a cotton bud and isopropyl alcohol, then run three to four empty heating cycles at the highest level (220 °C) without any material to burn off manufacturing residues. Grind size: according to the manufacturer's instructions, use a medium-fine grind — too fine will obstruct the airflow, while too coarse will fall through the bottom screen. If the supplied brush does not fit through the glass tube, cotton buds with paper stems or pipe cleaners from a tobacconist work just as well.
